    It is actually pretty good. If you plan on getting this dont get this expecting to use it alone. You'll definitely need an Arm and Shock Mount

    I attend 4-5 hours of Zoom calls every day and this mic works great. It's probably overkill for my simple use case, but it's the only microphone with usb c i could find. I could have gotten a cheaper mic that used micro usb, but i refuse. USB C for everything! The software is really cool even though i won't use it's awesome features much.
